I said it sucked. But I was wrong.

Getting it to work DID suck. Laugh and point all you like, but I am not a dumb man in the realm of technology, and it still took me tons of trial and error to find router and console settings that got along. But now that's settled, the movies/tv shows stream freely (I even sometimes get 30 Rock in HD  :o ) and I use the service all the Goddamn time. It's easily the number 1 feature on the Xbox, for me.

360 Netflix is fucking awesome anyone that says otherwise is dead wrong.  Really the only bad part about it is the limited selection but I've personally found a bunch of shit worth watching.

the service itself is awesome

it sucks when your cable company decides to pass out the bandwidth like a pre-dream ebenezer scrooge passes out christmas bonuses

I think it sucks, but I think movies in general suck so it's not for me. I get irritated seeing people use Netflix when they could be playing a fucking game instead.

My only complaint with it, is that some of the TV series have episodes that are "available only on disc". It's frustrating...I know Dead Like Me was like this, and I think some other series.

Has anyone else ran into this, or know why that is?

One random episode of MacGuyver season one was only available on disc. Who can say why?

Chances are they have stunt casting in that episode (in the case of McGuyver isnt it the one with OJ in it?) and they didn't want to go out of their way to negotiate another contract with these people (or sometimes it's the music played in the episode) because they're lazy.

Music license is what I was thinking too.
